Abstract

Urostomy bag cover system comprising: an ostomy bag cover; a wafer baseplate access hole; and an elastic retainer for retaining the ostomy bag cover about the ostomy bag. The wafer baseplate access hole provides access to a wafer baseplate located in the ostomy bag. The ostomy bag cover provides a non-obstructive removeable-covering for the ostomy bag, with the ostomy bag providing for the collection of waste from a surgically diverted biological system. The ostomy bag comprises a sealable collection pouch for containing waste bodily fluids and is removably couplable to a digestive system or a urinary system. The ostomy bag cover comprises at least one cotton/spandex blend decorative fabric with the decorative fabric acting as a concealer. Decorative fabric of ostomy bag cover may match a garment-fabric-appearance.
